Access Point Setup

This chapter describes the setup procedure to connect the wireless access point to your LAN,

and configure it as an access point for your wireless stations.

Wireless stations may also require configuration. For details, see Appendix C - Wireless

Station Configuration.

The wireless access point can be configured using a Web browser.

Your browser must support JavaScript. The configuration program has been tested on the

following browsers:

•

Firefox 3.5 or later, Chrome 8 or later, Safari 5 or later

•

Internet Explorer 7 or later

Setup Procedure

Before starting setup, install the wireless access point on your LAN, as described earlier.

1. Locate the wireless access point's default name on a label on the base or rear. The default

name will be

lapxxxxx where

xxxxx is a set of the last 5 characters of your access point MAC Address. MAC Address

is available in the brown box label or product label.

2. Use a PC connected to your LAN, either by a wired connection or another access point.

Until the wireless access point is configured, establishing a wireless connection to it may

be not possible.

If your LAN contains a router or routers, ensure the PC used for configuration is on the

same LAN segment as the wireless access point.

3. Start your Web browser.

4. Enter the IP address of the wireless access point, as in this example, which uses the

wireless access point's default IP address:

http://192.168.1.252

At the login prompt, enter admin for the User name, and admin for the Password.

These are the default values. You should change the password.
